Morning Guitar, Bass and Piano Lessons In Houston & Katy
At ABC School Of Music
Click on this box to read more.

Houston's ABC School Of Music is now offering morning piano and guitar lessons. ABC has assembled some of the finest guitar and piano teachers in Houston. All of ABC's music teachers have years of real-world experience as professional musicians.

We can help you become truly comfortable with guitar or piano, in a relaxed, professional environment. That's why our students come from all parts of Houston to take lessons.

And ABC is now offering morning guitar, bass and piano lessons with Greg Varhaug. Greg has taught guitar with ABC for more than three years, emphasizing pop, classic rock, country and blues styles.

Now Greg is applying his visual, play-by-ear approach to beginning piano as well. No music reading required (though written music is available with lessons).

Regarding how his approach to piano is different from most teachers, Greg says, "From talking to piano students (other than ours) it seems that it's not easy to find lessons in pop piano styles. You can get lessons on classical-style arrangements of pop tunes, but that's not the same thing. The solo arrangement of 'I Feel The Earth Move' is not the same thing as what the piano player played in the session."

"Guitar students learn real parts from CDs. Piano students read sheet music of an arrangement that the original artist had no hand in producing. I think pianists will enjoy playing in real time with real songs."

Book your lesson as early as 9am. Tuesdays in Katy and Thursdays in Houston.
